Time Machine & Snapshots - Premium Feature

Time Machine 

The Time Machine collects Snapshots of the history of your document. These Snapshots are generated through Auto-saves, document exports, and the manual creation of a Snapshot. 

Snapshots

A Snapshot is a timestamp in your document's history. It acts as a flag so that you can return to that moment for later review, or to copy to a new document. Each Snapshot has a date and time stamp. Snapshots are read-only versions of your work.
